🚨 HOUTHIS WARN TURKEY & PAKISTAN: “WE WILL STRIKE THEM WITH AN IRON FIST”
Ansar Allah official Mohammad al-Bukhaiti issued a direct warning to Turkey and Pakistan against military involvement alongside Saudi Arabia.
English Transcript:
Mohammad al-Bukhaiti:
“By Almighty God, if Turkey or Pakistan gets involved, we will strike them with an iron fist. Just as we are punishing Saudi Arabia today, we will punish them.”
Host:
“You would strike Pakistan after the Pakistani defense minister warned about activating the Mecca Agreement?”
Al-Bukhaiti:
“We are not begging anyone, nor are we asking anyone to help us. But we warn any country against getting involved alongside the Saudi enemy.
Today, we are fighting this battle while carrying what we believe is a just cause and a great grievance. We carry a list of hundreds of thousands killed because of the Saudi aggression against us. We carry a list of millions who died as a result of famine, malnutrition and shortages of medical supplies because of the Saudi blockade.
Therefore, by Almighty God, if Turkey or Pakistan gets involved, we will strike them with an iron fist. Just as we are punishing Saudi Arabia today, we will punish them. And just as we previously punished America and Britain, we will punish any country that gets involved in aggression against Yemen.”
Host:
“This is serious, Mr. Mohammad. So there are serious indications of possible Pakistani intervention in this escalation after the defense minister’s warning about activating the Mecca Agreement. There is also a Pakistani delegation going to Iran, perhaps to discuss a formula for de-escalation or Iranian pressure on Ansar Allah?”
Al-Bukhaiti:
“Yes. We know that the overwhelming majority of the Turkish people sympathize with us, and likewise, the overwhelming majority of the Pakistani people sympathize with the Yemeni people.
Therefore, any direct military action by the Turkish or Pakistani government against Yemen — in that case, we will respond with a decisive and painful response, and we will strike with an iron fist.
But we say to the Turkish and Pakistani governments: spare yourselves. Yemen has not attacked you. Yemen today is in a defensive position. Saudi Arabia is the one attacking.
Yemen’s demand is clear: stop the war from both sides and lift the blockade in exchange for lifting the blockade. This is a fair position.
Therefore, if the Turkish or Pakistani government gets involved, by God, we will punish them.”
